So, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 just dropped, and tons of folks are diving into the campaign, eager to see what's new in the Black Ops storyline. However, some quirks are popping up, especially if you're planning to tackle the campaign solo.

One of the biggest head-scratchers? You can't pause the game, even when you're playing by yourself! I mean, who designs a game where you can't even hit pause to grab a snack or answer the door? The story's built around a squad, but get this, there aren't any AI buddies to fill in if you're flying solo. Talk about being left in the lurch!

And if that wasn't enough, the campaign lacks a checkpoint system. Yeah, you read that right. If you bail out of the game for any reason – life happens, right? – you're restarting the whole mission. It's like stepping back in time, but not in a fun way. Furthermore, you need to be online constantly. If your internet hiccups, say goodbye to your progress.

It's pretty obvious the campaign is designed as a team effort. Even if you're going it alone, you have to jump through hoops with matchmaking and lobbies just to start playing. I can't help but feel that the solo experience feels like an afterthought.
